Needlewheel to Meshwheel skimmer mod

[Jaws]

So I finished the meshwheel mod about an hour ago on my Euro Reef CS8-3+, and everything went really well. This skimmer has two sedra 5000 pumps and is pretty much the same as the RS 250. There's definitely more bubbles except now it overflows. I've got the gate valve dialed all the way down too. Before, I tried to adjust the skimmer so the water line was just below the collection cup. Now it's right at the top of the collection cup just below where it overflows. Before I cleaned the collection cup neck the skimmer was producing skimmate but it was very wet. After I cleaned the collection cup the skimmer now just overflows clear water. There's still tons of bubbles in the neck but it's only producing clear water, no skimmate. Any ideas what I can do to help this?
